Hello athan,

There is no info on how to reproduce this, but it seems the installation failed for some reason (you have broken packages). You can try to execute this in the shell:

dpkg --configure -a

And maybe you'll see the cause of the problem.

Probably there is something wrong in /etc/apt/sources.list, check that and don't forget to run sudo apt-get update. Did you use the Zentyal installer? Or have you added the repositories by hand on a Ubuntu server?
